It was recently revealed that one-third of Democratic voters believe a conspiracy theory that the attempt to murder Donald Trump on July 13, 2024, was staged by Trump himself.
A Morning Consult poll released on July 15, 2024, showed that one in three registered Democrats believe it is “credible” that the July 13, 2024, shooting in Butler, Pa., was staged and not intended to kill Trump.
According to the poll, large swaths of the Democratic base have fallen prey to the phenomenon known as “BlueAnon.” The word refers to the far left’s boogeyman, QAnon, a conspiracy theory that the mass media claimed was adopted by many Republicans and Trump supporters, specifically.
The recent poll highlighted that BlueAnon believers among Democrats far outnumber their QAnon counterparts among Republicans.
It showed that 34% of Democratic voters found it either definitely or probably credible that Trump staged Saturday’s shooting, with only 45% of Democrats saying the conspiracy theory is not plausible. On the other hand, a widely cited poll from 2021 found that only 23% of Republicans were QAnon believers.
The Washington Free Beacon stated that the reason why BlueAnon became so popular among the Left could be attributed to prominent Democratic activists and leftist media commentators saying that Trump staged the assassination attempt.
“This is a classic Russian tactic, such as when Putin killed 300 civilians in 1999 and blamed it on terrorists to ride the backlash to winning power,” Democratic powerbroker Dmitri Mehlhorn, a Joe Biden’s ally who has made at least 10 visits to his White House, wrote.
Neither Mehlhorn nor any other far-left propagandist addressed the numerous photos that captured bullets whizzing just inches away from Trump’s face and blood running from the clearly visible bullet wound across his right ear.
As expected, none of them also mentioned that one person, firefighter Corey Comperatore, died at the rally protecting his wife and daughters by shielding them from the bullets with his body.
Only 1/3?? That’s good news :)
I figured it was like 60 percent.
Not surprised by this poll. The COVID scam taught me that at least half of my fellow citizens base their beliefs and opinions upon what they WANT to be true rather than what the facts, critical thinking and common sense tells them is true. Heck, I still see people wearing masks and gloves while driving in their vehicles ALONE.
Meh.
That too.
Corey Comperatore must have sacrificed himself for QAnon.
34% ?
Ok, I’m as partisan as the next guy, but this ‘article’ about a ‘poll’ is ridiculous click-bait.
Been seeing it on FB. TDS is overwhelmingly strong in these idiots!
They are accusing an honest man, of what they would do... And they would do worse.
Exactly correct. It is a human failing.
Real bullets were flying from the AR-15, killing one and seriously injuring 2 others. Thank God the shooter was taken out quickly. He had lots of more ammo.
One third of Dems are evil minions from Satan himself.
There ya go. I fixed it.
The dirty assassination attempt-deniers.
Bring back the insane asylums.
Self delusion and denial is the democrats only way of dealing with the obvious; that it was a setup.
They don’t want to believe that the people on their side of the aisle have to cheat to win, even though that too is overwhelming obvious.
These are people who still rant and rave about Trump supporters being election-deniers. A Democrat panel guest on Fox News The Five brought this up when talking about the sniper attack last week.
The rest of the panel ignored this comment, but I would have asked her why no court in the US would give Trump his day in court, like they did Gore in 2000.
And if Biden really did win in 2020, then please explain the extraordinary events on election night, when Trump was on a trajectory to a landslide victory and suddenly the vote counting stopped in swing states at 10 PM, and Biden comes out on top?
Only a brainwashed moron would believe their version of events.
And of course, that’s the answer as to why so many democrats would believe that Trump did the Butler attack himself.
Brainwashed morons.
The dirty assassination attempt-deniers.
Democrats seem to have an amazing thought process. It’s probably safe to say that not all of them think this way, but the few that do are certainly a dangerous bunch.
The far-left conspiracy nuts been hittin’ da fentanyl.
EVEN MY DOG KNOWS better.
Dems are showing how stupid they really are.
If they weren’t stupid, they wouldn’t be dems.
Complete and total bull$hit. Find me a person with no military training, shooting at 150 yards with an open sight, who can nick the ear of a human, and I'll show you the greatest shooter in history. A puff of wind could have changed everything. This is simply the Democrats raising a smoke screen for themselves in the hope we don't find out why Jill had the A-team, the Secrete Service never noticed the shooter crawling on the roof while he was video taped by people in the audience, and why the FBI didn't do its job, as well.
Something is rotten in the Deep State.
